Traditionally it's not in our culture to celebrate Thanksgiving. But this year, as newlyweds, we did something different and invited 4 friends over for a Thanksgiving dinner.

It's going to be an epic dinner!

Continuing last year's tradition, Vancouverites once again celebrated Oktoberfest at Harvest Haus, under the big tent at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre Plaza. Mr. and I went to the Friday seating on the second weekend, checking out the German-style food, beer, live music and entertainers. We've put some food dishes to the test with Samuel Adams, a US craft brewery that I have been spotting at many local food events, supporting and promoting the idea of food and beer pairing.
